Everything about the Stealth in this game is just too overpowered.

lol, only thing what is overpowered from this stealth are stacked proc sets to 1shot

1 shot builds now have just as much defense as tanks bcz they can roam just about anywhere undetected.

bigger lol
just prevent go into stealth your ganger and you will easily rekt him without effort if you dont let him run away

defense as tank....hahaha, if thei have defense as tanks than they arnt true ganger, thay need to be proctards then to be able kill someone from gang if thay have defense as tanks

normal true ganger with honour will be glass cannon with max stats to burst, no regen etc, atleast based on mag regen to move more in cloak

atleast when we have heavy armor meta also if ganger is glass cannon he have almost no chance to kill someone in this heavy armor without proc sets

That said, I hate gankers because the victim doesn't get a chance to fight back. Whatever happened to honor? A good, honorable fight involves two gladiators facing one another and fighting to the death out in the open. Stealthing is just a coward's way of winning a fight.

honour you say, so what happened to honour almos everyone on cyroil who are running with heavy armor and also proc sets?

what is a honour while you have 25k-30k+ health, heavy armored tankly build against your opponent with 20k or less health in medium armor so almost no resists against you, better sustain ofc in heavy armor because of passives with tankly armor with still damage bonus + as NB ganger in compare to any other class this nb dont have neny good burst heal and bonuses to healing like dk and templar with major mending

if you want honourable fight then put out your heavy armor with proc sets and wear medium/light armor, than you can go for chance for "your honourable figh"

at all as I see 99% players of cyrodil are using proc sets so no one of them have any hounour while fighting also in open fight, dont blame gangers their have no honour whiel ganging while everyone other around aslo have no honour in open fight because their sets are fighing in open world instead of those players

Honor is for dueling, this is war.

Lord_Etrigan · January 2017

If you want honour then roll a Imprerial templar!, umh wait they spam that undodgable jesus beam from the other side of Nirm.

Nightblades are assasins, Killing in stealth is what they do.

Hallothiel · January 2017

Yes I hate gankers

Have said I hate them but it's mainly I hate being ganked by armour.

Nowadays can sometimes survive the first hit & either fight back or run away (depending on how much of a surprise the attack was and if I can remember which buttons to press).

So don't mind if there is actual skill. But hate if look at the recap and its the bloody procs going off....

theher0not · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

It is part of PvP. It is nothing wrong with using a beneficial situation to one's advantage.

(Only time I do mind is if I am doing non PvP stuff like questing or collecting skyshards)

Edit: I am not saying they arn't anoying, but it is part of the game. And unlike WoW there are no players who can 1 shot you just because they are higher level, so here you have a chanse to fight back or get away)

Narvuntien · January 2017

I don't care either way.

It is a legitment stratgey I should be allowed to exist.

I do worry that some of them are very tanky for how much damage they do. I have seen many builds with Viper then the rest heavy armor. They can jump in kill one person and live to escape again. I think it should only work if you are glass cannon. You get too tanky the ability to pop people needs to be weakend. Monster helms are big part of that problem

I was getting really frustrated today in PVP, normally I just shrug and get used to it. But I really felt like I was getting targeted.
I got to a recently taken keep walk up to a wall to help team repair it... dead. I hop to Nikel to ride to the battle at Ash... hop on my horse... dead. Get revived surrounded by five of my group members... dead. Why are you picking on me.. I am not even useful!

So I think there are some issues.

Saltypretzels · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

Getting mobbed by a large group and then getting tea-bagged by them is what annoys me.

Gankers that are soloing, not trash-talking, and not tea-bagging are worthy of respect.

W0lf_z13 · January 2017

really all depends ... sometimes i could care less ... other times if im in a rush to get back to my group and i get ganked ill cuss a bit at my comp but I don't send hate tells about it ... if im on one of my tank builds though i find it amusing when an attempt at a gank is done though

srfrogg23 · January 2017

I stopped PvPing years ago because of gankers. Haven't had to worry about it since.

MaxwellC · January 2017

I don't care either way.

I like when gankers fail; I remember yesterday I was at sejanus bridge or at-least en-route when I saw a random body of a enemy faction and as I saw it the ganker hits me with Incap and viper procs + veli but at the moment he used incap I popped a potion that increases my healing received + armor. I then go on to 3 hit him thanks to dizzing swing heavy attack onslaught lol.

I think the underlying gamemechanics are bad.

lol it's the viper and proc sets ganking not the player

The only proc set gear my gankblade is currently wearing is a velidreth helmet, but since it's got on different set shoulders the proc doesn't fire.

She still gets kills in roughly 1 second.

Totally doable with out proc damage

Sure, I dislike be ganked, but ESO has an assassin class and that is what it's supposed to do.

FearlessOne_2014 · January 2017

Yes I hate gankers

Why you ask? All one has to do is look at the words Gank, or Ganker to understand why people hate them. They ofter nothing in terms of fighting more so since stam proc meta became a thing. They one shot you out of stealth and are tanky at the same time. They ofter no chance of a fight with is why I was PvPing in the first place. Not to just die from some ProcBlade before I can even CC break. Gankers in ESO are rightfully hated.

Most of them only gank because their is no challenge involved. Yes I can say this because I also did it for 2 days before getting bored of how super easy it is these days. And the last one their is no counter to good Gankblades they just pop up and boom you are dead. Without even so much as a scruffle, just, Hi now have fun riding back for 5 to 6 mins for nothing.

Most of the gankblades have the same mentality. They just want to make people salty, it's the only pleasure they get out of their lives. I mean look at this thread, the only reason why it was made, was so OP could farm forum tears. But I must say to OP, well done you've hit your mark here.

Also OP should note because of how easy ZOS made it for people like OP to just ruin others fun without so much as a fight. People like me went from spending all day (3 to 6 plus hours in extreme cases 28 hours straight) in Cyrodiil to now maybe 2 to 5 hours a month in Cyrodiil. So many competitive PvP games on the market to play without having to worry about such things. Smite and Paragon mostly comes to my mind. Between people like OP and ZOS. They have turned ESO's PvP into a potato-like PvP gameplay. Only things left to do in ESO is to PvE, RP and socialize with guild members since those are the only things decent about ESO, and MMOs in general these days.

brtomkin · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

Ganker = Sniper

It's just a part of war. I would much rather have to worry about a ganker than an archer taking me out with a single arrow to the heart (or knee).

olsborg · January 2017

I don't care either way.

Maybe if the one who ganked you did so with proccsets, and you know they would never have made it without them.

Danksta · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

Solo gankers I have no problems with and even group gankers I don't hate, I just think they're cowards. I can't remember the last time I was ganked successfully. Lately I play primarily with my magplar in PvP. Often times gankers assume that I'm just a healer because after I break CC I go, Purify, Harness Magicka, BoL to basically just negate everything they just did. Many times I see them light attacking me I assume to generate ult and the see me as a non-threat, then it's stun them, sweeps and a jesus beam if needed. They're usually dead in 2-3 seconds. I thinks it's pretty funny.

bulbousb16_ESO · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

I hate gankers! Cyrodiil should be completely safe, even in enemy territory. Fluffy bunnies, hurrah!

Lookstowindwards · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

Its been some time since I went into Cyro doing PvP (due to LAAAG, mostly), but I never - neither in this nor any other game - hated the assassin killing me.

Of course I cursed at the monitor, thats normal i guess, but no hate at all.

WHAT I did and do hate is when moving in a group most people dont care for the slow or (here in ESO) combat-bugged fellows, leaving them behind for the assassins to prey on - and then wondering, why it takes them so long to reach the destination.

You want honor in pvp go play in Asia. That's the only place where gankers are treated like dogs on every server. They become the hunted by every pvper on the server. Here in the U.S. gankers think of themselves as cool players because they get away with it.

Takes-No-Prisoner · January 2017

No I don't hate gankers

If I get ganked. I take a mental note of their name, find them, then kill them. I also have a StamNB I gank with occasionally.

Pretty much, I can't stay mad at dumb stuff that happens in pvp. If I get rolled over from Viper+Veli+SA all in one fell swoop, I just respawn, find the guy and give him a proper smashing.

jaye63 · January 2017

Yes I hate gankers

But it's not PvP gankers I hate. It's item gankers I hate. If Im standing on a node, fighting the NPCs that were guarding it and you run up and take it... I wanna see you in real life and smash your face in with a plumbers wrench. Or idiots who are too lazy to take all of the items from a chest. OMG! You're screwing up the respawn. Take it all and trash the crap you dont want. Or the people that see you heading for a node and hit speed run to beat you to it... seriously? I would rather be ganked by a group of PvPers for hours than to deal with THESE ganks.

And you're in PvP. I dont know who said it, but... If you find yourself in a fair fight, you're not prepared to fight. PvP is win at all cost. THERE ARE NO RULES! You want a fair fight then you better make your own game where everyone has the same abilities and the same gear and protected spawn points and no add ons and no hacks and tools to fight net limiters so that you HAVE a fair fight. You should also delevop software that forces everyone to have equal PC spec as well.

Edit: I rarely PvP in ESO because I have yet to have a toon I feel is prepared either by ability or gear.

AlMcFly · January 2017

I don't care either way.

Meh, it's annoying being caught by a "ganker", but I don't hate them.

One simple truth: They will exist in every game I play that has PvP no matter what I do, no matter how hard I scream or complain.

Because of this one simple truth, I know that I have zero ability to remove gankers from existence, thus it is nothing but a waste of time getting annoyed or angry when I'm ganked. This is how I'm able to say "meh" and brush that sh*t off my shoulder.

There is a famous quote out there that goes: "Worry is a useless mulling over the things we cannot change." Once you accept that there are things that just will NOT change in life, you stop caring or fretting over them.
